I don't think he was being a dick by tuning my guitar. I had relatively new strings and they were being a pain. I was nervous and, while I normally do not have a problem tuning I was having difficulty at the time. He was simply demonstrating that playing a little tune in the key of the piece to check tuning is useful. Even though it was a little embarrassing for me, I thought his philosophy on tuning was very helpful.

@Piorkowskiguitar Hi your masterclass video Roland Dyens Fredonia Masterclass has a very low sound, Is there any way of you re posting it with the sound boosted?

Game Over!!!! jajaja

@JapJackson Don't jump to such conclusions based on the limited info you have here. If you actually met Dyens, you'd understand that he's one of the sweetest, humblest men you could ever meet.

@JapJackson Dude he just explained a very correct way to tune your guitar Albeit he is a little anal but still it is a masterclass. There is no single guitar that plays "perfectly" in tune, the laws of equal temperment don't allow it. He was instructing the class to tune to the key of the piece because the guitar is designed to play equally bad in all keys. So by tuning to a particular key you can help negate some of the ill effects that are inherent to guitar construction.
